Aura Seidler, LCSW

Aura Seidler, LCSW, helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. She brings more than 21 years of clinical experience to each session and speaks English and Spanish.

She focuses on clear, practical steps rather than clinical jargon. Sessions tend to center on uncovering patterns that get in the way, building concrete coping skills, and improving how people talk about difficult topics. She works with adults and adolescents, including concerns tied to loss, separation, and attachment wounds.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from New York University, with a concentration in clinical social work. Aura has spent decades helping people manage the emotional fallout of trauma and supporting recovery that affects daily life, relationships, and work or school functioning.

In therapy she draws on a mix of approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening. This mix is used to tailor work to each person's needs, whether the focus is mood, coping after loss, anger, or improving intimacy.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, skill-building, and gentle challenge when needed. Aura aims to help people find clearer direction and more useful ways to respond to stressors. She encourages collaboration and ongoing feedback about what is helpful in therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Aura commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with client-centered techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while identifying values to guide action. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and recovery from trauma.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current connections. It helps people understand emotional responses in relationships and build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and meeting people where they are to build trust and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust plans as things change over time.

The practice offers online options that should be confirmed before booking. Please check current session formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
